TEN is a Primitive Quendian root signifying "direction".[1]
Derivatives[edit | edit source]
Other versions[edit | edit source]
TEƷ[edit | edit source]
In the Etymologies appears the root TEƷ- ("line, direction"). From this root derives:[3]
- Primitive Quendian: teʒē
TEÑ1 and TEÑ2[edit | edit source]
According to Christopher Tolkien, the root TEƷ- was changed to TEÑ. In this new entry, Quenya téra and Noldorin tîr derived from Primitive Quendian teñrā,[3] where an intermediate form appears to be tēra.[2]
There exists furthermore an additional entry on TEÑ in the Etymologies (for the sake of clarity, here called TEÑ2), yielding the derivatives Noldorin tî ("line, row"), tiwdi ("alphabet"), tær, taer ("straight"), and Quenya téma ("row, series, line"), tea ("straight line, road").[3][2]
Note that there also exists a root TEÑ, with a different signification, in the manuscript "Eldarin Roots and Stems".[1]
√ten[edit | edit source]
The complexity of the root TEN is has been discussed at length by Patrick H. Wynne. A very late (ca. 1968) manuscript by Tolkien includes an almost identical rendering of √ten as given in the version from "Eldarin Roots and Stems" (that is, the version used as the first definition in this article), which, however, was changed to a √men (yielding different derivatives). An earlier manuscript (late 1950s or early 1960s) by Tolkien also contains a mention of a √ten-, having a similar (but not identical) description.[4]
